I was helping an elderly lady with some odd jobs this week.  She calls me once a week or so to work a small list.  She is 85, has one arm that is paralyzed and still lives alone.  When I am done, we sit and talk for short time.   I sometimes think she just wants company.

Like many of the elderly, she will tell a cute story evey now and again.

She said she went to play Bingo at one of the local churches last week.   "Do you know how to make an 80 year old lady swear in church?"  She asked me.

With as serious look as I could muster I replied..."No."

"Have another 80 year old lady yell...BINGO!!!!"

I am thinking shopping at grocery stores on senior day is a close second.

My grandmother used to come home each Sunday with about 20 pounds of canned food. That was what they would win! That must be why I am more partial to poker.

Iknow that some of these ment to be fun games get real competative.  Accusations of cheating pop up often.
